I can't speak to Penn Foster's English Comp II, but I did try straighterline's program before switching over to Propero. Straighterline make's you read Frankenstein, complete written assignments, and take exams. The class was very doable, but I didn't like the writing assignments. I switched to Propero mainly because no one else seemed to have tried them yet, and I was willing to be a guinea pig for the forum. Propero's writing assignments where more difficult, but I enjoyed the type of writing assignments more.
I have taken 2 courses with Penn Foster and found them user friendly and easy to complete. The issues that I don't like with Penn Foster is that for some courses you need to find a Proctor locally which can delay the completion of course. Straighterline you can use ProctorU. Unlike many on the forum; I liked ProctorU because it was at home and whenever I wanted to complete it. This made it easy to work with my schedule.
I hope this helps, and good luck!
